Sweet Diva

After all of the different weight loss attempts, I had never really heard about or even thought about lap band until I recently read an article in the Washington Post of the results of Type II diabetics. I also am hypothyroid and have recent hospitalization both thyroid and hypertension. I have been told to get my blood pressure under control and then I can get a referral. So now I am doing reasearch and reading success stories. I know that every one is unique, but I am hopeful. Have a great day.:thumbup:

Help me out please, what is the pre-op diet. My edocrinologist says I have to tighten up my blood sugars and bllod pressure and add some exercise before I can receive the referral, although she is supportive. I am thinking that if I do that, it would help me those things in order. I so appreciate the support :rolleyes2:here as I am a member of many boards, I feel embraced it. Have a good day everyone.

Thank you - looking at the negatives, unsuccessful stories and contraindiciations are all part of my research. Take Care
